The newly released trailer for 'Resident Evil,' directed by Zach Cregger, showcases a fresh narrative that diverges from the established characters of the franchise. The film follows Bryan (Austin Abrams), a medical courier who finds himself in a chaotic, monster-filled city on a horrifying night. Fans of the original video game have reacted positively to the trailer, noting its intense atmosphere and potential for a captivating story. Unlike previous adaptations, this film does not feature iconic characters like Leon S. Kennedy or Jill Valentine, focusing instead on an original plot. 'Resident Evil' is produced by Columbia Pictures and Constantin Film, and is set to hit theaters on September 18. Cregger's previous horror film, 'Weapons,' was a commercial success, grossing over $270 million globally.
